Stalking on a Saturday
Posted on Sat, 9 Feb 2013 by midcenturyjo
A small one bedroom apartment in an unremarkable 70’s block. (We call them “six packs” in Australia.) A small one bedroom apartment that packs a punch. Clever use of a white base that is layered with colour and vintage finds. A small kitchen in an unexpected spot. Great use of mirror back splash and the fun of astro turf on the balcony. (Although the wide angle lens stretch is a little annoying.) Bijou yes. Pokey no. Big style small space in Armadale, Melbourne. Link here while it lasts.

New project by Kyla Bidgood
Posted on Fri, 8 Feb 2013 by KiM
It’s been a few months since Vancouver/Victoria interior designer Kyla Bidgood shared her redo of a tech company’s office with us, and now she’s back with another project. This time it’s a really fun interior. I recently completed a residence for a young family of four. I worked with homeowners Meagan & Sebastian Smitsdorff to create a space that reflect their personalities while utilizing some of their existing furniture pieces. Bright colours, vintage nostalgic accents, and custom built-ins enhance the living/dining areas, while keeping spaces functional and durable for daily use by their two young boys. These spaces are so awesome for a family – bright and energetic, liveable and functional. Kyla included some before photos so you can really see the transformation.

On the ceiling

Don’t let the white on white with gold accents fool you as you move through this Sydney house. A splash of colour on the front door, dramatic wallpaper in another room, cleverly patterned tile in the powder room give you just a hint of the riot of colour and wallpaper that awaits when you climb the stairs or venture out to the pool cabana. Interior designer Greg Natale takes it to another level with his bold pattern clashes, papered ceilings and bathroom tiling. A glam house, a wham house! Love the striped wallpaper down by the pool? Did the purple chevron paper in the Adore magazine post (the room complete with David Bowie and tufting) tickle your fancy? Both wallpapers are from Greg’s new stripe range for Porter’s Paints. Hollywood Regency meets retro meets rock star glam. Mix it up anyway you want.
The Greg Natale Collection is available from Porter’s Paints.
